SEASON 4 EPISODE 65: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: We rejoin your regularly scheduled Trump-Epstein Cover-up Scandal Show, already in progress! Trump’s disastrous attack on Iran – approved by only 27% of America and barely HALF OF REPUBLICANS, so DIDN'T move the needle that Trumpstein has erupted anew in New Mexico: The former Attorney General essentially accuses the Trump Department of Justice of SABOTAGING his investigation of Epstein’s Zorro Sex Trafficking Ranch in 2019; of telling him ‘we’ll just take it from here’ and instead burying it. They took all the evidence and simply did nothing. When New Mexico went back a year later and said 'seize the ranch, preserve the evidence' they were again ignored. And after a New York Times deep dive on all the non-sex allegations and involvements, an entire new Epstein realm has opened up: what about the thousands of Epstein's non-sex crimes and co-conspirators? Why hasn't Trump prosecuted them? Plus, all the attack on Iran did was remind the world that if WE can try REGIME CHANGE in other countries, what’s to stop OTHER COUNTRIES from trying REGIME CHANGE? And I’ll say it again: They called it ‘Operation Epic Fury’ because ‘Operation Epstein Diversion’ didn’t sound War-fightery enough. And media fails us yet again: CNN will now go the same Bari Weiss Way of CBS. Then again it was three-quarters dead already, and the real crisis is MS-NOW's president thought the future of her network (basically unchanged since we spun off my guest hosts Maddow, O'Donnell and Hayes to give them new shows in 2010) was...Anderson Cooper LOL.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been killed in his office by US and Israeli strikes - ending his 36-year iron rule of the Islamic Republic. As the government announces a 40 day mourning period, many Iranians have reportedly taken to the streets to celebrate. The Revolutionary Guard has promised to punish the "murderers", and is carrying out retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region. There have been strong reactions at the UN Security Council and on Capitol Hill. So who's now in charge of Iran? And what does this mean for the rest of the world?

In this episode of *The Bullshit Filter*, Cameron and Ray dissect a world seemingly gone mad under the pressure of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” foreign policy. The duo explores the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Cuba, where a modern fuel blockade has pushed the island's socialist experiment to the brink of collapse and triggered a “mini Bay of Pigs” skirmish. Beyond the Caribbean, they analyze the “Board of Peace”—a privatized, multibillion-dollar alternative to the UN Security Council run by Trump and a circle of luxury real estate developers. Finally, the conversation shifts to the global stage as the BRICS nations and the EU accelerate their “de-dollarization” efforts, launching digital payment systems like Wero to escape the reach of American financial weaponization. It's a deep dive into an era defined by “grifts within grifts” and the slow-motion collapse of the post-WWII global order.

In December 2025, Slovenia completed its two-year term on the United Nations Security Council-participating in 558 formal meetings and 238 consultations of the Security Council, and so much more. Throughout its term, Slovenia addressed the most pressing issues, upheld its values, and shared its expertise globally to maintain international peace and security.rnrnMore recently, in its final month as a member of the UN Security Council, Slovenia held the Presidency for the second time. A visit to Syria and Lebanon was on the agenda, as well as topics related to Bosnia, Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, and others. At the helm is Ambassador Samuel ?bogar, who brings a wealth of policy knowledge and experience to the table. There may be few others with such timely insights on global affairs that have recently dominated the headlines.rnrnIn addition to his term in the Security Council, Ambassador ?bogar has had an impressive diplomatic career. He has served as Slovenia's Foreign Minister, Deputy Foreign Minister, Ambassador to the US, and Head of the EU Delegation to Kosovo and North Macedonia.

Last October, the Trump administration announced a ceasefire deal in Gaza after two years of relentless carnage. Since the deal was announced, Israel has continued to occupy much of Gaza, and its forces have killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has launched his so-called Board of Peace to administer Gaza without any input from Palestinians. Having received a blank check for his scheme from the UN Security Council, Trump now presents the Board of Peace as an alternative to the UN itself.

The United Nations on Tuesday warned of a sharp escalation in violence in South Sudan, driven by political deadlock among the signatories to the country's fragile peace deal, as clashes, displacement and humanitarian access restrictions worsen. Briefing the UN Security Council, UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix said rising tensions linked to stalled implementation of the 2018 Revitalised Peace Agreement had led to armed confrontations across several regions, particularly in Jonglei state. He said fighting between government and opposition forces had intensified in recent weeks, with reports of aerial bombardments, inflammatory rhetoric and mass displacement. More than 280,000 people have been displaced by violence in Jonglei alone, according to government figures, he added. Lacroix expressed concern over reports that government forces had ordered the temporary relocation of civilians, as well as UN and humanitarian personnel, from parts of Jonglei in late January ahead of a planned military operation, although authorities later denied issuing such instructions. He also warned that unilateral initiatives to amend the 2018 peace agreement, including proposals to delay constitution-making until after elections, risk undermining the accord's primacy. The main opposition group, the SPLM/A-IO, has rejected the initiatives, citing ongoing legal proceedings involving First Vice President Riek Machar and demanding his release before engaging in political dialogue. South Sudan remains one of the most dangerous countries for aid workers, Lacroix said, noting that 350 attacks on humanitarian staff and facilities were recorded in 2025, up from 255 the previous year. Access constraints persist, particularly in opposition-held areas, as the country battles its worst cholera outbreak, with more than 98,000 cases reported since September 2024. He said violence in parts of Jonglei had forced the closure of nutrition sites and health facilities, cutting off care for thousands of children and pregnant women, while recent attacks and looting of humanitarian barges in Upper Nile state had further shrunk humanitarian space. Lacroix also warned that cost-cutting measures at the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) were limiting its ability to protect civilians, with patrols reduced by up to 70 percent in some areas and dozens of human rights monitoring missions cancelled. Despite these constraints, he said UNMISS continued to play a critical deterrent role, citing the mission's presence in Akobo, Jonglei, as helping prevent possible aerial bombardments amid escalating fighting. Lacroix urged South Sudan's leaders to step back from renewed conflict, return to inclusive dialogue and uphold the peace agreement, warning that elections held without consensus among all parties would lack credibility. “Without the participation of all those who have placed their hopes into this peace process, any election will not be credible and therefore not worthy of our support,” he told the council.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

In support of the US peace plan for Gaza, President Trump proposed a “Board of Peace” as a transitional governmental authority to ensure Israeli military withdrawal from the territory. It was empowered by the UN Security Council to act on the organization's behalf as a presumably neutral body to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance, rebuild the region that has been physically devastated from war, and oversee security in the return of refugees who have fled the conflict. But as introduced by the American President at the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos in January, it has become a controversial body. Trump advanced a vision of the body, one which includes a payment of one billion dollars (to whom it is still unclear) that could challenge the UN. On today's show we start with an exploration of this new vision for the organization advanced by the US.

Francesco Grillo is Professor at Bocconi University and Visiting Fellow at The European University Institute. You can find his articles at the Conversation. His latest include Europe must reject Trump's nonsense accusations of ‘civilizational erasure' – but it urgently needs a strategy of its own and Donald Trump's Board of Peace signed at Davos – key points I took away from my visit to the ski resort The Board of Peace was initially and ostensibly created to govern Gaza in light of a peace agreement with the intention of removing Israeli military forces in exchange for a neutral transitional government. This was endorsed by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 2803 with very specific tasks outlined, including aiding in the creation of Palestinian governance, the physical and economic reconstruction of the war-torn territory, the delivery of public services and humanitarian assistance, and the return of refugees. In this segment, we examine the Board's ability to accomplish its defined set of goals. [ dur: 30mins. ] John B. Quigly is a Professor of Law Emeritus at Ohio State University.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 27, 2026. 0:30 CNN reports new details in the fatal ICE shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota — but the real story may be what didn’t happen before his death. We break down how Pretti had already interfered with a federal ICE operation, suffered a broken rib during a prior confrontation, and was treated and released without apparent prosecution. We question why federal law enforcement didn’t arrest or detain him for obstructing officers. The lack of consequences emboldened him to return — this time armed. The discussion connects political rhetoric, anti-ICE messaging from elected officials, and the refusal to fully enforce the rule of law, warning that labeling federal agents as “fascists” or an “occupying force” doesn’t just inflame tensions — it authorizes defiance. A tragic death but not an unforeseeable one — and a stark example of how unchecked interference with law enforcement can turn deadly. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a lower court ruling that attempted to stop ICE from being able to operate when facing violent political opposition. President Trump has issued a new executive order designed to speed up the rebuilding process in California. A Texas woman has been arrested and charged with attempting to burn down a Republican Party Headquarters. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Trump’s proposed Board of Peace is sending shockwaves through the global diplomatic class — and that may be the point. We break down reports that dozens of countries are being asked to commit $1 billion each to join a Trump-led international coalition, bypassing the United Nations and traditional diplomatic institutions altogether. We explore what the money could fund, why many participating nations are Middle Eastern and Muslim countries with a direct stake in post-Hamas Gaza governance, and how the plan intersects with NATO, U.S. leverage, and even Trump’s surprising Greenland framework. The Board of Peace is a direct challenge to entrenched global bureaucracy — no UN committees, no lifetime ambassadors, no blank checks. Is Trump effectively dismantling the UN Security Council and replacing it with a results-driven alternative? 16:00 Should Don Lemon be in jail? The American Mamas don’t mince words. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson react to video showing Don Lemon embedded with Black Lives Matter and anti-ICE activists as they disrupted a Christian church service in Minnesota. The discussion lays out why critics say Lemon wasn’t just “reporting,” but actively participating — from offering coffee and donuts beforehand to openly coordinating with BLM activist Nkeema Armstrong. As indictments are announced for protest ringleaders, we argue that interrupting a worship service violates the First Amendment, crosses into criminal obstruction, and terrorized families already on edge after recent church violence. We also question why conservative churches are targeted while mosques, synagogues, and black churches are left alone — and whether Lemon’s attempt to walk it back as journalism will hold up under the law. 23:00 A viral video featuring a registered nurse has ignited outrage and raised serious ethical questions about the medical profession. We react to a nurse who publicly wished medical harm on pregnant White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, invoking graphic childbirth trauma while claiming professional credibility. The discussion centers on the Nightingale Pledge, nursing ethics, and the duty of care that demands compassion over politics. This moment exposes how political rhetoric on the left has crossed from disagreement into dehumanization—where conservatives are no longer debated, but despised. As faith, morality, and professional standards collide, we warn this is not progress, but a dangerous moral regression with real-world consequences. 25:30 New 2025 crime data is turning the narrative on its head. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, violent crime is down across the board—with homicides dropping a stunning 21 percent nationwide, potentially marking the lowest murder rate in U.S. history. Gun assaults, robberies, and carjackings have all fallen by double digits, reversing the post-COVID crime surge and bringing rates back below 2019 levels. We Dig Deep into why crime is falling, rejecting claims that poverty drives violence and arguing instead that enforcement, certainty of punishment, tougher policing, National Guard deployments, and the deportation of violent gang members are making the difference. We give credit to a renewed focus on law and order under President Trump and warn the progress will only last if leaders continue to back police, prosecutors, and the rule of law. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A special guest joins us today, actor and faith advocate Kevin Sorbo, who’s launching a “Footsteps of Paul” Bible cruise through Greece and the Middle East. Sorbo explains how actually visiting places like Athens, Ephesus, Crete, and Mykonos brings the New Testament to life in a way no book or movie ever could. Reading Scripture in the very locations where the Apostle Paul preached, he says, changes everything. The discussion also gets real about modern culture: would Paul be celebrated today — or canceled? Sorbo doesn’t hesitate, arguing that faith, free speech, and basic morality are under attack, pointing to church disruptions, political extremism, and growing public apathy. It’s part travel, part Bible study, and part cultural wake-up call — a conversation that blends Christian faith, Western values, cancel culture, and spiritual revival. 9:30 Republicans just blocked a last-minute Democratic push to limit Donald Trump’s military authority in Venezuela, and the vote couldn’t have been closer. With a 215–215 tie in the House and a tie-breaking vote from J.D. Vance in the Senate, Trump’s ability to act without new congressional approval remains intact. It wasn’t really about constitutional checks and balances, but about Democrats trying to weaken Trump politically — even after what they call a successful operation against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro with zero U.S. casualties. And we finish off with a story about how Barron Trump likely saved a friend's life.

This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts Richard Gowan, Olga Oliker and Steve Pomper about U.S. President Donald Trump's new Board of Peace and whether the transatlantic crisis over Greenland is over.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts, Richard Gowan, Olga Oliker and Steve Pomper and Richard Gowan to discuss the transatlantic strains over President Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland and his push to expand the mandate of his Board of Peace. He first speaks with Richard to discuss the Board of Peace–originally approved by the UN to oversee Gaza's administration and reconstruction, but now accompanied by a charter suggesting a wider global mandate and a potential challenge to the UN system. They discuss how the board is viewed at the UN and beyond, who is signing up, what it could deliver in Gaza and whether it may accelerate the erosion of traditional multilateral institutions. Richard then speaks with Olga and Steve about what a rupture in the transatlantic alliance would mean for Ukraine and European security more broadly, and how European leaders can manage their volatile relationship with Washington.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 22, 2026. 0:30 Democrats just lost another seat — and once again, they didn’t take it to the voters. They took it to the courts. We break down how a New York judge ruled the city’s only Republican congressional district “unconstitutional,” triggering a forced redraw before the 2026 election. The target? Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis and New York’s 11th District. But here’s the twist: the district isn’t some bizarre salamander-shaped gerrymander. It’s Staten Island and a slice of Brooklyn — one of the most compact districts in the country. So why is it suddenly illegal? Racial gerrymandering, selective enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and courts acting as political weapons. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The United States has founded the Board of Peace, an international organization created by President Trump. The Department of Justice has begun arresting anti-ICE agitators who stormed a church service in Minnesota over the weekend. A Judge in New York has ruled that the state's 11th Congressional district is unconstitutional under the state's constitution because there are too many white voters in the district. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Is President Trump quietly building a new world order — without the United Nations? We break down Trump’s jaw-dropping new “Board of Peace,” a global coalition where more than 30 countries are each putting up $1 billion to buy into Trump’s vision of international security. From the Middle East to Europe, this isn’t symbolic diplomacy — it’s real money, real power, and real influence. We explore whether this massive fund is reshaping NATO, stabilizing Gaza, sidelining the UN Security Council, and even laying the groundwork for Trump’s bold moves on Greenland and Arctic security. 16:00 Should Don Lemon be in jail? That’s the question we ask American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, after shocking video shows Lemon joining a BLM and anti-ICE activist group to disrupt a church service in Minnesota. What was framed as “journalism” now looks a lot more like activism, as footage reveals Lemon offering coffee and donuts, coordinating with known Black Lives Matter organizer Nakeema Armstrong, and knowingly participating in religious intimidation and political protest inside a place of worship. We dig into the legal and constitutional stakes — from First Amendment rights and religious freedom to whether disrupting a church could qualify as domestic terrorism under federal law. With indictments already handed down to protest leaders, the question remains: was Don Lemon reporting… or was he part of the operation? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A viral video featuring a registered nurse wishing graphic medical harm on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt — who is currently pregnant — has sparked outrage and a serious ethical reckoning. We break down how the Nightingale Pledge, the foundational oath of the nursing profession, is supposed to represent compassion, medical ethics, and basic human decency — and how this nurse’s comments represent the exact opposite. What began as a political disagreement has now crossed into dehumanization, cruelty, and open celebration of suffering. 25:30 New national crime data is turning heads — and rewriting the narrative. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, violent crime in the U.S. dropped sharply in 2025, with homicides down a staggering 21%, gun assaults down 22%, robberies down 23%, and carjackings plummeting by 43%. We Dig Deep into what could be the lowest murder rate in American history, with crime levels now falling below even pre-COVID numbers. So what changed? Is it tougher policing, National Guard deployments, aggressive prosecution, or mass deportations of violent gang members like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua? Crime doesn’t fall because of “economic opportunity” — it falls when laws are enforced, police are backed, criminals are jailed, and punishment is certain. America is once again operating as a nation of laws, not excuses, and Donald Trump’s return to tough-on-crime policies is a major factor behind the historic decline. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

This has all the elements of the Hollywood adaptation of the ‘Left Behind' book – the charismatic leader from Eastern Europe, the UN Security Council, and a 7-year peace plan – but this is not a movie, it's very much real life. Welcome to Donald Trump's Gaza Peace Plan, and say hello to Nicolae Carpathia, umm no, I mean Bulgarian diplomat Nikolay Mladenov, the Special Coordinator for Donald Trump's Middle East Peace Plan and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Wow.“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, over the past few months, President Donald Trump has gone above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped he would do as it relates to the end times. As I have told you all many times, I did not vote for Trump to ‘make America great again' I voted for him as God's appointed servant to advance the end times timeline to the breaking point, and today, that's exactly where we find ourselves. Today we will explore the stunning time of Jacob's trouble overtones that swirl in and around in the midst of Trump's Gaza Peace Plan, the rise of the New World Order, and the incredible geopolitical global realignment currently underway. Welcome to Day 2,032 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, things are about to get interesting. Crazy interesting.

President Trump has unveiled his long-awaited ‘Great Healthcare Plan' to lower healthcare costs, with Republicans planning to take quick action to move the ball forward, after enhanced Obamacare subsidies expired earlier this month. His newly released plan to lower healthcare costs builds on actions his administration has already taken, like negotiations with 15 pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce drug prices for Medicaid patients. The administration wants to send the money currently spent on subsidies directly to Americans instead of insurance companies.President Trump announced the creation of a Gaza Board of Peace, following phase two of a US-backed cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terror group.

A close reading of the facts indicates that Putin and Trump worked out a global carve-up in which Russia gets Ukraine and the US gets Venezuela. This was implicitly acknowledged in the "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine enshrined in the National Security Strategy released by the White House weeks before the illegal Venezuela attack was launched. In this light, Russian protests of the US aggression at the UN Security Council seem strictly pro forma. Both dissident left voices in Venezuela and democratic socialists in Ukraine have made the point that to betray one country is to betray the other.

Venezuela has urged the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting to condemn what it calls a “brutal, unjustified” U.S. attack, following claims that President Maduro and his wife were captured.

A spokesperson for the Somali Permanent Mission to the United Nations said the UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting at 10 a.m. on Monday on the U.S. operation against Venezuela.

The ramifications of today's actions in invading Venezuela will, without doubt, be profound, for in it a US President has placed the United States above international law, global norms, and US customs. By these actions, President Trump has set our Country on a rogue path, one that puts military aggression above peaceful deliberation.

Allison and Noah talk about (1) the spike in thuggish thuggery of young Jewish thugs, throwing rocks, beating with sticks, setting fires, sparking fear among Palestinians on the West Bank, and also Jewish protestors and soldiers, and (2) the UN Security Council's decision to endorse US President Trump's 20 point plan for peace in the Middle East, offering a “pathway” to a State of Palestine. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: US President Donald Trump writes Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog (1) that peace has come to the Middle East after 3,000 years, (2) that the Jewish People are “amazing”, and (3) that we should do him a solid and pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose only crime is that he cares too damn much. As Ezra Furman once sang, “Well, what can you say to that?” All that and a tribute to a beautiful barefoot runner, iconoclastic physicist and communist malcontent, an appreciation of Allison's uber-capable daughter, and an exhibitions of army photographs. Plus, hip hop about where we are, two years after the war started.
